I have a single HTML page that I want to put online. What's the best way to do so? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible.

#2Github pages is a great way to go, you basically push to a branch called "gh-pages" and a file in the root called CNAME with the domain and you're done.

#7I'll echo:
- Github Pages
Also you can look at: - https://neocities.org/ is ad free and free
Then if you're willing to compromise a bit, these are easy and free:
- Wordpress if you want to post an article. It'll put spam on your page though.
- Google sites is a good wiki style solution for posting a few things up with a wysiwyg editor.
- If you don't want it to be an html page, there is also google docs and google drive so you can share an artifact.

#9Tumblr will probably work very well. HTML and CSS is fully customizable. You don't need to form your "theme" in a blogish fashion. Connecting a domain is free.

#10I'm a big fan of divshot.io for this sort of thing. Easier to set up than the other suggestions and they've got a free tier.
